The outpouring of grief, sadness, love, reflection, hope and determination in the wake of @arif_naveed's death is simultaneously heart-warming and heart-wrenching. In death, as in life, Arif keeps bringing out the best in us, our gentle yet powerful humanity, as we wrestle (1/10)
example of people like Arif, people who do not epitomise the dominant idea of "success" society wants to sell us. People like that remind us that the ocean is not infinite; there are islands, shores, mountains. There is so much more to life. As long as we don't forget (9/10)
@arif_naveed passed away yesterday. It's a loss that no words can capture. His kindness, compassion, sharp yet gentle thinking and moral courage will have forever left a mark on the world. It is now up to us to complete his unfinished agenda. RIP, Arif. https://t.co/gXUxy4cxJ1
Happy to share that I will be based at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature in Kyoto, Japan, in September - December, as a visiting fellow, working on cross-cultural applicability of future design. Looking forward to connecting with colleagues in Japan and beyond!

A new research paper out today in Social Movement Studies about a network of activist-run "schools for life" (jeevanshalas) in India. What does activism-inspired education look like on the ground? Available open-access! https://t.co/YdGo0XvrKq
@FeiHuangFH I agree with you that quality > quantity, but I also think we need to be careful about what we mean by "impact." Many important insights initially had no "impact" -- truly transformative ideas often come from imagination of what could be rather than catering to what already is.

Bring it on! ✊ "A new kind of politics is brewing here... The new breed of protesters, walkers, campers, foragers and wild swimmers are at the heart of it all. “We need people to be intertwined with the land like brambles in the bushes.”https://t.co/okZS4oKM4R
